Grammy-winning rapper arrested, charged with conspiracy to commit murder

Chicago rapper Lil Durk was arrested by US Marshals in Florida on Thursday.

Durk Banks, 32, was booked into the Broward County Jail pending charges of self-inflicted murder, according to WGN9.

Five members of Banks’ hip-hop collective Only the Family, or OTF — Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston — have been charged in Los Angeles with plotting to kill rapper Quando Rondo.

An indictment says the charges include conspiracy to commit murder on one’s own account, commission of murder on one’s own account resulting in death, carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun in order to commit a crime of violence resulting in death.

Rondo and his cousin were shot in LA two years ago. Rondo survived, but his cousin died.

Police said they believe the shooting was revenge for his death Chicago rapper King Von in Atlanta in 2020. Rondo was suspected of being involved in that death, the news outlet said.

Lil Durk is known for songs like “3 Headed Goat” (featuring Polo G and Lil Baby), “Backdoor” and “The Voice”. He won a 2024 Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for the song “All My”. Life.”
